    Recently purchased a 2015 TRD sport 4x4, and have plans to turn it into an overland rig for adventures and camping. Its got 33 inch MT's on it and currently sits on a spacers. It also rubs pretty dang bad with the 33s on it.

    I think out of all the upgrades i could make first to the truck, fixing the tire rub with a body mount chop and new suspension would make the most sense. Everything else just seems like a waste if I'm not sitting on the right foundation. Those of you who have built your trucks out for this what say you?

    Also here's the suspension the shop recommended: READYLIFT - 3"F / 2"R SST LIFT KIT BILSTEIN 6112 COIL-OVER - TOYOTA TACOMA TRD / SR5 / ROCK WARRIOR 2005-2022

    I've been looking at all kinds of brands: king, fox, icon, etc.

    If you really want to go down a rabbit hole look at JD Fab. I have their lower pivot kit as well as the inner fenders and I don't rub with 35s. They make quality parts. Just depends on how much you're looking to spend. If my build justified it I'd get their 2.5" kit.

    Curious what the install would cost with that JD lower pivot kit for those of us that wouldn't be doing it ourselves?

    That I couldn't begin to tell you. I did it all myself. What I can tell you is that I smile all the time when I don't hear my tires rubbing.
